Safety, trust & environment

When I am in your home your animal rules will apply. Snuggle time on the couch, score! Not aloud on furniture. It’s ok, my feet will keep you comfy. Taking up space in the bed more than a normal human would? Great! just give me a little bit of leg room.

Information Janessa A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, behavioral issues, diet restrictions, accident issues, treat availability ahead of time. I will require a meet and greet prior to any stay to ensure we are all a good fit. ** please note that, while I understand things happen and animals are not always themselves with a new person around. If any behavioral issues or care circumstances arise that far exceed what was previously communicated/agreed upon during the meet and greet, additional charges may apply and will be assessed on a case by case basis.

A typical day

You tell me your pets daily routine, that is what we will do. Your home your rules. I will send you updates with pictures based on your preferences. Just tell me how much communication you would prefer.

Pet care experience

I am the proud fur mom of pups Max, Henry and Ollie the cat. I was very active in rescue and a foster mom for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue and Great Dog Rescue of New England and have fostered over 100 dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments and I currently work at the local animal shelter. I have experience caring for Chickens, Ducks, Pigs, Goats and Donkeys and am open to do light farm work. Like my fosters each animal is treated as one of the family. I am looking to expand my farm experience.. Light cleaning provided for longer stays. References available upon request. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Janessa is amazing and so trustworthy!!! She watched our 2 dogs while we were away and we didn’t have to worry at all. She provided just enough updates and we came home to a clean house! Would highly recommend Janessa

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
